SOME papers have such a way of
mixing up their original and selected
matter that their neighbors cannot
tell every time when to give them
credit. Thus the Tullahoma Guardi-
IN this week credits the Athens Post
with an item which appeared among
the clippings in the STANDARD sever
al weeks ago, and afterward on the
editorial page of the Post. Ifall pa
pers would follow strictly the old GUS
tom ofbeginningth their editorial items,
and only those, with small capitals,
the trouble could be easily overcome.
THE Interstate Commerce Com
mission have published a long letter
in which they set forth the fact that
they have no power to make a per-
manent or general suspension of the
long and short haul clause. They
state that they can only suspend this
or any other clause of the law in
special cases, upon complaint of in
jury, after full investigation of the
circumstances. The letter pretty
clearly intimates that the law will be
generally enforced just as soon as the
Commissioners can determine what
it means, and find out how to go
abOut il.

THE great sale Of lots in West
Nashville to be made by the
Nashville Land and Improvement
Company will take place next week,
from the 24th to the 9th inclusive.
The sale has been largely advertised,
and capitalists, manufacturers, and
business men will be there from all
parts of the union. From the atten-
ton which it is attraction in various
states there is little room to donbt
that it will exceed any public land
sale ever held in the South.

ACCLAIM isnow being setup that the
law prohibiting Sunday base ball
playing in this State is void. 1t
is claimed that the bill did not pass
three separate readings on three sep
arate days in the Senate, as required
by the constitution. Ifthis fact can be
established of course this particular
law is invalid, and it remains to be
seen whether Sunday base ball can
be prohibited by the general laws for
the protection of public morals.

goSiaa says
"Love and Law" drew a fine audience
last evening, which testified by the most en-
thuslastic applause its appreciation Of the
artistic effort Of Milton and Dolly Mobiles
and their most excellent company. In the
role Of Felix OPah, the clever Irish attor.
ney, Mr. Mobiles has abundant opportunity
for the display Of his essentially s1 gessyis
abilities. Ills shrewd Hlbernicisrna and
quick-witted speeches Kept the audience In
splendid humor throughout and hts eaay,
natural manner, aveld OF any straining At.
ter effect, always fits into the action de-
manded by each recurring situation with
an appropriateness that never fails 10 please.
At times, however, MIR Mobiles falls into a
habit which, In man OF his cleverness.
certainly easily overcome. namely, that OF
so tclescoplng his words together, particn-
larry at the close of q sentence, aud they
are entirely lest to the audience. This

Dolly MOBILES renewed the pleasing reco.
lecticns OF two years ago In her faithful and
delightful portrayed Of the persecnted ttal.

with Cont In his den displayed dramatic
force which shows her the true artist. Hci

graceful Helen Montague. and Mary Daven-
port In the duel roles Of the garrulous Mrs
TarDox and the Italian crone Rosa, was
thoroughly artistic. In the latter role es.
pecially, In make up, dialect and action she
was particularly strong, and heartily aP-
plauded.
The Giovanni Cont OF Louis r Howard
was capital piece OF acting throughout
His make up was fine, his dialect true, and
he threw into his rendition OF the part all
the cunning and yindictiyeness of which Il

Mr.. Charles caniieId, as the Baronet Sir

clever piece Of work In the old bachelor
lawyer Septimus Sawyer, while John II

The remainder Of the cast filed all the
requirements, and the play went smoothly

Gloomy.

A reporter of the DEMOCRAT has had an
interview with Hon c. P Burkhart who
has just returned from a visit to his old
home in Iowa. From him we learn that
the outlook for business In that State is
gloomy. Times are binding, money very
scarce, crops very short, and, notwithstand.
ing this fact, everything the farmer has tc
sell Is low. Young cattle that are worth
from $40 to Sra here sell there for S. to
So. Yearling Holstein's that would bring
$I8 to $40 here sell for 81 to $S there. Or
the 76th Of October snow In central Iowa
was inches deep. Mr. Burkhart thinks
there Is nothing to induce an Oregonian t.
leave here to make his home In Iowa. Nj
Burkhart's many friends will be glad t
learn that he Is In remarkably good health
